How to see JS scope chain's variable object in chrome

Question

Is there way to see the scope chain objects in chrome devtools or in any browser.

For the below code I can only find the global variable and also for nested functions as well, I am only seeing the global variable. Can anyone help with this. Please guide me if I am not in the right direction.

E.g.

var global = "Global var";
function f1() {
    var local = "Local var";
};

The closure scope of that function is the global scope.

If you want to see the local scope of that function, you need to call it:

var global = "Global var";
function f1() {
    var local = "Local var";
    debugger;
};
f1();

Then use the scope view of your debugger.
